My hair is healthy until i try to straighten it. Then the ends fry and everytime i straighten it i litterally have to trim my hair. Its kind of short now. Do i need a new straightener or something?? I only straighten it once a month because of this. I do use heat protectant but i dont think they are really helping! What am i doing wrong? And yes i do dye my hair.

Ok there are a few things I would recommend you try.
#1 using a serum on your hair even if it's just the ends before you straighten it
#2 if you have a straightener with a heat dial, turn the temperature down, or pick up a new straightener that will allow you to control the heat settings
#3 try DIY hair lamination (or you can get it done in salons) I have a great tutorial for this on my site http://bit.ly/WvjPdX

Hope this helps x

you need a trim first. I also recommend you to use pro naturals moroccan argan oil hair treatment kit which is a complete treatment that will help you to repair and restore your hair. :)

A good hair mask and deep conditioning treatment is a good idea for repair, and make sure you trim the ends every few months as the damage grows out. there's an argan oil hair mask from pro naturals that's great for repairing hair, though you can use coconut oil or almond oil once a week too.
